About this event

  • 3 days 7 hours

IHMA has chosen ‘THE MARINE ADVENTURE - Evolving and adapting to change in today's ports as the theme for the Congress which will be hosted in Morocco by Tanger Med Port Authority from 21 to 24 May 2024.

The Marine Adventure will dedicate an entire day of presentations, deliberations and enlightened discussion to each part of the port call process. Day one will look at arrival in port, day two will concentrate on a vessel's time in port, and day three will focus on departure preparations. The final day will be taken up with a technical tour to the Port of Tanger Med.

IHMA Congress remains the key forum for IHMA members, industry stakeholders, innovators and suppliers across the global ports sector to collaborate, network, share information, and provide updates on the latest industry technology and solutions.


Alongside the high class debate and discussion on the conference floor an exhibition showcasing port marine products and innovation is available. This conference and exhibition offers sponsors and exhibitors a unique opportunity to connect, build relationships and do business with the principal decision makers for global port and marine operations.

Details of sponsorship opportunities and exhibition rates will be available soon. Please check back soon or contact secretary.ihma@ihma.org
